'I’ve done the comedy, I’ve done the TV, I’ll just do bits on TV and film if I want to do it. But all day long I’m going to paint pictures. That’s what I like doing.”
It clearly means a lot – “I’ve got a good feeling about this one.” He says that when he used to tour with comedy partner Bob Mortimer, the reception they received in the North was always special. “Whenever we were performing in Leeds, or Manchester or York, the audiences were just great and there was always a good feeling to it.” He has enjoyed being on the road with his artworks. “All the shows I have done this year have been great and they have all been very different,” he says.
Then there is the quirky yet slightly sinister series of images entitled Dinghy Fights – paintings of shadowy men engaged in precarious physical altercations on small boats. “Those came from watching a British movie from the early 1960s which had lots of punch-ups in it. I took some photographs of it and then started thinking about where the most unlikely place would be to have a punch-up and I thought probably on a dinghy. That was a thread I pursued for a while.
He recently released a book of bird paintings and his next project combines both these passions. “I am doing a show for Sky Arts about birdwatching and painting with my wife Nancy. We have already done some filming inand we are going to be filming in Bridlington looking at gannets. For each show we will be looking at birds, I’ll be painting some birds and also doing a landscape with a friend. It’s a great thing to be doing.
